  • Patent number: 11629466
    Abstract: A moving energy absorbing component includes an impact head including a base and upright projection. The base includes an axial orifice extending from a downstream entry point to an upstream exit point, through which an upstream terminus of an FTE rail is passed before the FTE rail is directly or indirectly connected to a releasable connection point coupled to a ground anchor. The impact head is connected via at least one beam to a post detacher element located downstream of the impact head a pre-determined distance therefrom.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 14, 2022
    Date of Patent: April 18, 2023
    Assignee: Valmont Highway International Pty Limited
    Inventors: Andrew Karl Diehl, Andrew Michael Sarratt, Kenneth Lloyd Readman, Alexander Peter Hannibal Newman, Andrew John Beale, Christopher James Allington, Leigh Robert Brown

  • Patent number: 11391006
    Abstract: A road safety rail system comprising at least one continuous rail, or a plurality of sequentially connected system rails, forming a main body of a barrier, which are supported above ground by one or more ground engaging posts, wherein the system also comprises a terminal end section (TES) having an upstream end and a downstream end, the TES including: a stationary component comprising one or more standard terminal end (STE)-rails at the downstream end connected to at least one formed terminal end (FTE)-rail located at the upstream end of the TES, the STE rails being supported at a set horizontal axis height above ground level by a plurality of posts; wherein the at least one FTE-rail(s)-include(s) a twist from a primarily vertical orientation to a primarily horizontal orientation; Wherein the at least one FTE rail(s) bends down from a set horizontal axis height Y above ground level to a horizontal axis height being at, or near ground level; a moving energy absorbing component comprising an impact head incl
